Soon, a month passed. During this time, many came to invite Lu Li but he didn't go even once. He didn't even go to those invited by Linglong and Lu Ling because he didn't know. He had been cultivating all this time.
He wouldn't go even if he knew, in case his identity was exposed. As long as he could win the championship, he could "marry" Linglong and Linglong. Then, he could take them away and talk about the old days. He was in no hurry.
On the day of the final match, the Mount of Huayang was even livelier. At least 100,000 people were seated on the stands.
More patriarchs of different families came as well. There were more than 20 patriarchs of the Great Emperor Realm and those from the Holy Girl Sect. It was a grand occasion.
When Hua Tiandao and the others arrived, they felt the pressure when they saw the huge crowd. With so many people watching, it would be glorious if they could keep winning and at least make it to the Top 3. On the other hand, it would be humiliating if they failed and ended up in the fourth or fifth place.
Of course!
As a matter of fact, whether they won or lost, the five of them were already famous all over the world. The Holy Girl Sect had put up a notice to the world.
The real Feng Wuding hadn't even come, but he had already become famous. Admittedly, it was funny.
Maybe …
The real Feng Wuding had already received the news. He was puzzled. How could there be someone with the same name in the world?
Extraordinary innate talent and combat strength?
"Quiet!"
The patriarch of the Holy Girl Sect pressed her hands down and shouted with divine energy. Her voice was loud and the noises around were silenced. The patriarch of the Holy Girl Sect said, "After several rounds of competition in the Mount of Huayang, the Top 30, Top 10, and Top 5 have been decided.
The prizes have been honored. Now, the final match will begin. Let us wait and see who will be the champion! "
"Now, I will announce the rules of the final match!"
The patriarch of the Holy Girl Sect paused for a moment. Many people held their breaths, afraid to make a sound. How would the final match be conducted?
The rules were very important.
The patriarch of the Holy Girl Sect continued, "The rules are simple. We will not compete in the final match.
We will climb the Peak of Empress. The first three to climb over 10,000 steps will directly enter the Top 3. Then, the second and third place will compete with each other. The winner will compete with the champion for the champion of the Mount of Huayang. "
"Peak of Empress?"
As soon as the patriarch of the Holy Girl Sect finished, many people were confused. They did not know much about the Peak of Empress. Was it difficult to climb a peak?
The finals were actually going to be like this?
This inevitably disappointed many people. They wanted to see super experts fight to the death.
"You don't know about Empress Peak?
That is the most precious treasure of the Saintess Sect! "
"The first generation Holy Emperor of the female Holy Sect refined her own body into a supreme treasure after her death. This is a super holy weapon!"
"That's right. It can be said that if there was no Empress Peak, there would be no Female Sage Sect. Not only can this treasure subdue the enemy, it can also nurture the future generations.
The number of steps one could climb corresponded to one's realm.
It's said that by climbing to the peak of Great Empress Peak, one can become an Emperor. "
"I see. This will be interesting. Let's see who can climb to Level 10,000 this time!
That's right … where is the Empress Peak?
What do we think? "
"The Female Sage Sect will definitely have a way. They won't let us sit here and watch!"
The discussions in the surroundings became noisy again. That elder raised her hand and shouted, "The competition will begin now. The top five contestants, please get ready. The rules this time are that no matter what method you use, you just have to climb up the 10,000 steps with the fastest speed.
Of course … you are not allowed to attack each other. You will climb based on your own ability. If anyone attacks you, it will be considered cheating and you will be disqualified. "
The five of them were already prepared, but they didn't know where the Empress Peak was and were somewhat confused.
The Shadow Empress smiled as a small mountain peak flew out from her hand and floated in the middle of the stage.
"So small?"
The people on the spectator stands looked at each other in dismay, but they quickly reacted. This place should be a world of its own. After entering, they would realize that the Empress Peak was very big.
The Female Sage Sect elder pointed to the small mountain peak in midair and said, "Everyone can enter. Once you approach the mountain peak, you will immediately be able to enter. Everyone, I wish you all good luck.
A friendly reminder. Be careful when climbing the mountain as the Empress Peak will automatically attack. "
"Alright!"
Hua Tiandao was the first to rush up. The rest were naturally not to be outdone as they all rushed towards the mountain peak in midair.
When they were close to the mountain peak, the five of them were sucked in and turned into five humans the size of ants.
What was amazing was that when the people on the outside used their Divine Telekinesis to probe inside, they could easily lock onto the five of them and discover the world that the five of them were in.
It was a boundless mountain. This mountain was like a pyramid, towering into the clouds. There was nothing on top of it, only a winding stone staircase, like a path to the heavens.
At the moment, the five were at the foot of the mountain. In front of them, there was a translucent rune on the staircase, blocking their way.
Hua Tiandao had taken out his Relic weapon and was about to attack the rune.
"Let's begin!"
The Shadow Empress sent out a beam of divine power. The Empress Peak flashed slightly and the invisible barrier disappeared. Hua Tiandao and Dong Yeying immediately turned into a sharp arrow that shot upwards.
"Let's go!"
Wen Xiang and Tu Ying followed them. Lu Li was not in a hurry. A red glare glowed under his feet as Blood Fairy went underground.
This Empress Emperor Mountain is definitely a very powerful treasure, this treasure has powerful God Runes.
If he could decipher the runes or even see through some of them, it would be of great help to him.
Ten thousand stairs would not be easy to climb. Otherwise, this would not be a test.
This was the finals. It would not be easy. Lu Li was not in a hurry.
He believed that the one at the front would be at a disadvantage, and it would be … miserable!
"Boom!"
Just as the thought crossed his mind, Hua Tiandao, who was at the front and had climbed dozens of stairs, was suddenly struck by a ray of white light. Then, he fell down and somersaulted in midair …
Dong Yeying, who was following Hua Tiandao, stopped. He was taken aback. That attack came without any warning. It came from the stairs and hit Hua Tiandao at once.
The attack was so fast that Hua Tiandao could not react in time. He was smashed down. He could not have dodged it, either.
Wen Xiang and the others were not far away. When they saw this scene, they all stopped in their tracks and their eyes were filled with contemplation.
They knew that the Empress Peak would be difficult to climb. None of them even thought about flying. They had to climb on their feet.
However, it was so powerful that they were smashed down after climbing dozens of stairs. What was more, Hua Tiandao was no match for it …
"Let's go!"
No matter how difficult it was, they had to try and find a way to solve it.
Dong Ye Ying lifted his feet and walked up. When he reached the stone staircase where Hua Tian Dao was, his entire body tensed up and his eyes stared straight ahead.
"Eh?"
He waited for a moment and realized that there was no attack.
He was overjoyed and continued to climb up.
However, he had just climbed up three steps when a ray of white light flashed. Dong Yeying rolled down as well. The momentum brought him back to the foot of the mountain and he rolled to Lu Li's side.
"How the hell are we going to climb?"
Dong Yeying was dumbfounded and so were the others. There seemed to be no pattern to the attacks on the stone stairs and they were horribly powerful.
You wouldn't be hurt now, but you would be back to square one. There was no way to have a good time.
"This is strange!"
Lu Li didn't move. He stood at the foot of the mountain and put on a meaningful smile. The rules of the game seemed to be more favorable to him.
